They are in you and me; they created us, body and mind; and their preservation is the ultimate rationale for our existence … they go by the name of genes, and we are their survival machines.

You may object that by speaking of simplicity and beauty I am introducing aesthetic criteria of truth, and I frankly admit that I am strongly attracted by the simplicity and beauty of mathematical schemes which nature presents us. You must have felt this too: the almost frightening simplicity and wholeness of the relationship, which nature suddenly spreads out before us.

All of physics is either impossible or trivial. It is impossible until you understand it, and then it becomes trivial.

An important scientific innovation rarely makes its way by gradually winning over and converting its opponents: What does happen is that the opponents gradually die out.

Craig Venter,  Hamilton          Smith, Claire Fraser, and colleagues at TIGR elucidate the first  complete          genome sequence of a microorganism - Haemophilus influenzae  Rd.          Since that time, the genome sequences of many important human  pathogens,          such as M. tuberculosis, Treponema pallidum, Campylobacter           jejuni, Helicobacter pylori, Vibrio cholerae,  and Legionella          pneumophila have been determined.
